Tonedeff - Loyal lyrics

Have you ever been betrayed? That sh**'s the worst hit of pain/ When somebody you loved can't look you in your face/ And have you ever had your heart torn out by somebody you thought was your friend/ And now your trust is worn down or bought to an end/ No pardons can mend it, when you're darkened within/ f** cause & effect, it's a hard fate to take and your reasons don't soften the sin/ Your dogs can bark for you, but you gotta watch when you argue/ Cause dogs will bite and snarl at you, just to remind you they're harmful/ I feel awful, I'm a mental case, shattered to pieces and I've got a palm full/ Past law school and beyond console/ Cause you've crossed the bar with me, farther than I've ever thought possible/ My choice is now mandatory and not optional/ Don't ever speak another sentence to me, ever mention me/ I don't exist, convince yourself you invented me/ You've committed the crime of the century/ And just cause loyalty ain't a trait you possess, Don't think that I'll lessen the penalty. What's your name again? I know, I knew it 2 seconds ago/ But, I don't recognize this 2nd face, though with the 1st it's identical/ You were the type that I put on a pedestal. Your acts were commendable/ But the bond of friendship isn't impenetrable/ And inevitably the blunt force of ego proved lethal/ To a good person forced to wallow in the sh** of evil people/ Fundamentally filled with avarice, a cheat from the soul/ Spending their lives to make sure that you ain't achieving your goals/ Unreasonable kings that want to see you jump through rings of fire For their own amusement, holding nooses – hoping trees are higher/ So abusive towards you that truce just doesn't seem required/ Cause, why play the game? When you can make the other team retire/ Strings are tirelessly pulled in your favor as you play the rumor creator, Twisting words till they sound like statements you made up/ With a big grin you soak it all in, as former friends/ Go face to face with contradicting convictions/ Plots are thickening, cause you pitched in. You feel important, now?/ Must've been high as a kite from snorting clouds/ Sorta proud of yourself, and the way that you hold ya ground/ Distastefully wore the shroud, how's it feel to have puppets to order ‘round/ But I saw through you, even before I found How you would say ‘no, beef', give me dap, and hit me with a quarter-pound/ Your loyalty's watered down, Bottled with a squirt cap/ But When the drama popped off, where the f** were you to plug the cork back? Men are as harsh, as women are vindictive/ Picking apart minutiae, On some b**h sh**, kids all in your business/ Forget honesty, nowadays you'll be lucky find that quality/ In a drama oddessy where cats never react responsibly/ And I'm jostling with haters, hypocrites and hypochondriacs/ Abolishing their dated ignorance and fighting copycats/ and If I don't give my patience a rest/ I'll prolly take my anger to d**h, complaining about some pain in my chest/ Aged and distressed, thinking ‘bout who just f**ed me over – 20 years ago/ Amazing how pricks can miss your skin, yet pierce your soul/ But where's the line at? Like where does loyalty appear to fold/ And what do you OWE someone and just WHAT do you feel your owed/ But yo, you know when you've been done wrong, that numb calm, A breech in the moral code's eternally portable/ The moral of the story's old even if it's poorly told/ Beware of cats that straddle fences like the chain-link rodeo. Chorus: I love you in a place where there's no space in time (And that's forever right?) I love you for my life – you are a friend of mine (Only second to family) I love you in a place where there's no space in time (Who really got your back) I love you for my life – you are a friend of mine (How loyal are your friends, y'all?)
